Dia dhuit a chara, agus maith an bhuachaill! :)

If you have the time while in Ireland, try to see the Dingle Peninsula,
Cliffs of Moher, and the Rock of Cashel.
 I love the West of Ireland. Dublin's exciting, but a big city.

Go n-eiri and bothar leat, agus slan go foill,

Show (and about 30

to see him for a few

Yellow (Archeology), and

itself. We leave May 2nd

$3,000), we're renting a Diesel

(using points!) into, and

> I will of course send some trip reports and I'll be trying to take some
photos that will make it
